Re: Best Programming Language

Java for many reasons:
 - security
 - libraries (many great frameworks)
 - power and support

This for development.

From an hacker point of view (building exploits and so on), maybe
Python would be better, but you can obtain almost the same results (if
you don't need to have low level access to the SO) in Java too.

I believe that every security specialist must be able to write his own
tools, it's a handy skill and you would need it sooner or later.

Can you share what is your programming language of choice, and why?

Cheers
